Herbal Tinctures

What are herbal tinctures?

A herbal tincture is a liquid extract of a herb. It is made by soaking herbs in a drinkable alcohol. We use a mixture of organic grain alcohol and distilled water to get the require strength of approximately 55% alcohol. When purchasing tinctures, try to find companies that use organic herbs.

The alcohol extracts a great deal of the active ingredients of the herb. The distilled water also helps in this process as it is "empty" water. Therefore it can more easily extract the powerful benefits from the herbs. Tinctures have much longer shelf lives than dried herbs and the potency can remain for up to three years or more.

Using herbs for common ailments has been around forever. Throughout the world people are turning to herbal remedies and tinctures are an easy way of reaping the benefits of herbs.

When using a tincture, you will use only 20-40 drops 2 to 5 times per day. You can add your tincture to water, juice, hot tea, or drop under the tongue. If you use under the tongue try to let sit in your mouth for approximately 30 seconds. When using the herbal tincture in a tea, it will dissolve the alcohol but leave the properties of the herbs.

Reviewer: Ariel from national city, CA United StatesI am in love with this stuff! I went into it thinking that it wasn't going to work. But I've been using for awhile (now going on my 3rd bottle) and I can not stop taking it! My doc told me to take birth control or loose weight to have my hormones more balanced but this stuff did the job! My chin acne has now cleared up my body hair is growing back 10 times slower and thinner. I recommend to all my clients at my job. This really really works! The only thing is that it taste nasty but you get used to it. But I'll take the bad taste anyday!
